So, yeah, I mean, I mean, I think that is a very common and realistic, I would say a lot of people, but I think a lot of men have, or they maybe it's not the answer to their why, but it's definitely something that they relate to and like, feel. I think my, my motivation is, is making sure I like, I want to live. Live with a purpose and like, show our girls that, like, this life. I mean, like something super simple today, like, we were talking about money or talk about like, things your kids want. And it's like, dude, those things ain't going to heaven with you. Like, it's. Those are not valuable things. And so it's like, I want to be able to show them that, like, we can survive here in this life and we can trust in God. And I mean, I'm still figuring out how to, like, love quote, unquote, love correctly however you say that. But I just. I want to be able to show them that, like, more than anything, like, living for purpose and loving others and showing that, like, I'm living and trying to live and trying to parent and trying to teach y' all to love God so that the. This life is not one wasted away that you're purposeful with it. Like, everything to me is, like, purposeful. Like, how can this be purposeful? How can this be purposeful? Like, what's this conversation about? What am I showing them this about getting ice creams? Like, what. Like, what is. I don't know. I see everything as what's a lesson we can teach them to better stow, like, their upcoming of like, whenever they need to make decisions on themselves. And I mean, especially because it's. We've got six girls to. To a mom. And, you know, I probably overcompensate that because I didn't have a lot of that. But I would say a big part of mine is just my. Why is because I want to show them that, like, we can survive even though it's not perfect, even though it's not beautiful all the time, even though it's a struggle sometimes. But, like, I want to show that, like, I have to trust in God to have a purposeful life because it doesn't come naturally, it doesn't come easy all the time. But I would say that in the times where I'm, you know, overwhelmed and I've experienced a lot of those over the. Over my life, and that my purpose of what gets me through that or what's next is always my faith. Like, even before I even knew it was faith. I feel like even as younger, like, always thought something else. And so it's. It's interesting to be a Christian today, to be able to, like, really kind of see that full circle of, like, wow, that's. That's not. That's me trying to live through faith with. When I used to not even know what faith was, you know, So I want our girls to obviously grow to learn how to make their own decisions and how to, you know, know right from wrong and all those, like, little scenarios. But, like, I really do. I want us to teach them as parents, you know, God has gifted us with them. Like, I want us to be able to teach them so that they can go off on their own and do the same purposeful life. Like, not same, but, like, live a purposeful life. And that's kind of really that I feel like that is a motivation. My biggest motivation is that, like, it's hard being me as mom who goes through a lot of these ups and downs and, you know, health things here and there. And so hospital, doctor appointments, all these, like, these are things that, like, take me away, that I can't, like, do or be present or, like, all the time. And. And those things, like, like, man, they knock me to the ground. As hard as it is or as easy as it might look to just, like, be out or whatever in bed or like, whatever it is. Like, it's really is a struggle still, even though it sounds so simple and boring, like, it's more struggle to lay there than it is to be active doing something. I don't know if you agree with that, because you're like, you. You probably. You love sleep. And I'm like, I know, but it's. It's different. It's hard for me to not do in a sense, so. But a lot of my motivation comes from just trying to be purposeful. And I think the last probably like five years, that's really become, like, evident to me that, like, God's really pushing that on. Like, is this for the kingdom? Like, then what are we doing? Like, that's kind of like where I. That has become more and more, like, evident to me. Like, this is what I want to live for, and I want our. Want our purpose to be like that. But I mean, it's interesting because, like, motivation can come in different ways. You know, a lot of people have to. If they're going to train for a marathon, there's different steps that they have to take. And it's not always easy to go work out. Not all the time. Do you want to get up when your alarm goes off in the morning and you might want to snooze or. Or whatever, but like, so it is like, motivation can be different and it can look different throughout different things. And that's okay. And that's okay because could I work towards something to have the motivation of getting a reward or like, ice cream or like, even things as a kid you go to the doctor and like, or you. You teach your kids this and you're like, okay, well, all right, let's. Let's get to this point. And then there's a reward. You know, it's like, there's something still that those kids are having to get motivated through. What's. What can you teach them? What can you tell them? And how to motivate Them. But there's not one perfect answer I don't think is what I'm trying to say, you know, And I think even with what you can say is motivation, when I could say is motivation, that's what we feel. But tomorrow we might be in a scenario that might be work or parenting or traffic or like, I don't know what it might be. Rain, weather, I don't know, something else might be something we need to be motivated by. Oh, I don't want to go on a 15 hour car ride. But you know what? I'm really excited to listen to that new podcast about blah, blah, blah. And so I'm going to be excited to like, just be in the car and drive like something like that. Like, small little motivations like that are okay too, you know, But I think it's important when we're faced with life struggles, challenges, obstacles. I mean, if I look at like the. Where we are in like this a phase of like a lot of change, a lot of decisions having to be made a lot. Like, we have to try not to lose the why. And it's very easy to be distracted and to be like, yeah, but we don't have to do that. Like, we don't. We don't. We don't have to sell our house. We don't have to move. We don't have to change this. We don't have to. We don't have to do any of that. Yeah, but what is our motivation and what is the why behind it? And those are things that we have to say forward and face forward of the ultimate why is where. But what is God telling us to do?
